Thanks for the replies.

My /etc/resolv.conf is:

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

They are the IP addresses of Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/).

Running
%> host www.yahoo.com 208.67.222.222

gives:

Using domain server:
Name: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53
Aliases:

www.yahoo.com is an alias for www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net
www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net has address 87.248.113.14

I get a similar response from 208.67.220.220

Does this provide any more info?

Then if ping -c 1 87.248.113.14
works you are connected to the Internet

If ping -c 1 www.yahoo.com
works, you know dns is working and are connected to the Internet.
